Bags can be found in various forms, styles, fabrics and colors. There're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but will also to make a fashion statement. When categorizing handbags, you should think of them in 2 different ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you carry it. First we can categorize bags by how you take them.
Leather shoulder bag
SHOULDER BAG
Shoulder hand bags come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and might normally hold your wallet, keys, cell phone, textbooks, note pad, makeup products and more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with various pockets both inside and out. These handbags are created to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags are extremely practical and maybe the most common bag carried by females.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It can be carried in your hand or tucked under your arm. Over the history of bags, clutches have been relatively small and often restricted to evenings. Clutches can carry your keys, driving license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in the past svereal years, the "oversized" clutch is growing in popularity. These hand bags are designed just like a regular clutch but they are bigger and can carry all your essentials.
Clutches could be soft-bodied, framed as well as hard-cased. They come in variety of shapes and materials, including silk, patent leather and sequined fabrics. A clutch can be closed with a fold-over flap, top closure, zipper, push lock, drawstring or any number other types of closures.
HANDHELD BAG
Obviously, these handbags are designed to be held by hand. They give a small handle. They aren't intended to be slung over the shoulder - these bags can only be handheld. They are normally smaller than a shoulder bag, but bigger than a clutch.
Colorful tote bag
TOTE BAG
These casual bags are often made from canvas. Tote bags are open at the top and often have one main compartment. Tote bags are very big. When over your shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are good for the beach, outdoor actions or buying.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger bags are also often called crossbody bags as a result of how they are worn. These bags are great because you can't loose them! Worn over the body, messenger bag appear in a number of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are normally worn by students and travelers.
BACKPACK
Another bag which is popular among students may be the backpack. These kinds of bags have two straps and they are supposed to be worn lying on your back. Backpacks are perfect for carrying school books, notepads as well as other somewhat heavy items. There're normally made of nylon, but they can be canvas or leather. Backpacks can also be perfect for traveling, hiking, camping and other activities.
The perception of handbag you choose will depend on exactly what you need carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. Many women have an favorite that they carry almost daily, only switching to a smaller or larger bag for special events or circumstances. Other women own lots of handbags and switch their bag on a regular basis, matching it for their outfit, destination and mood.
